I work at Twilio, and we have a bunch of employees who are going to reach their first year with the company soon so I've been contemplating some special way to commemorate their anniversaries with the company. Does anyone celebrate this at their startup? What do you do, and what does it mean to you?
We celebrate their anniversaries with the company at the closest company meeting to that date. There are increasingly cool company shwag presented with the acknowledgment, starting with sweaters and progressing through nice jackets, skateboards, framed photos etc. It feels great to see people still really happy with their job after 4 years and having to earn the nice shwag makes it mean more.
